CALL NOW! Tell Florida NO to open carry guns around family vacations!

The Sunshine State could soon be much less family friendly. Gun owners with concealed carry permits may soon have the right to openly carry their firearms in Florida’s public places, including beaches, national parks and other tourist destinations.

We can stop this idea from happening! With more than 97 million people visiting the state, bringing more than $70 billion a year to the economy, tourism is the foundation of Florida’s economy. Florida leaders will not like to hear that allowing the open carry of firearms may lead people to start looking elsewhere for that perfect family vacation.

Can you take two minutes and make a call to the Florida State Legislature? Tell Florida lawmakers: “Families do not want to vacation in a state where people are openly carrying their weapons!”

Making a call is easy! MomsRising's handy calling tool will connect you to the office of one of these key Florida lawmakers:

• State Senator Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, Chair of the Judiciary Committee• State Senator Andy Gardiner, Florida Senate President

You will be reminded of what to say right before you are connected, and it takes just two minutes. Or you can just follow the sample script on the right!
